Holidays in Australia

Do you know how long does the student have for holiday every year in Australia? It is quite different from many of the other country, maybe you would like to have the holiday like that after you know it.

In the world, right now, the majority of the students are hard at work in class but their academic time might come in different types. College Students in Australia go to school for about 201 days a year. Their school time lasts from early Feburary to early December. As Australia is in the southern hemisphere, it experiences summer while it’s winter in the northern hemisphere. Summer holiday for Australian students is from late November to early Feburary. Their school time is divided into four terms, with each term lasting about 8 to 10 weeks.

Students then have two weeks of vacation between each term. The typical school day is from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and lunch is eaten at school. Students are required to attend school for at least nine years. The average class size is eighteen students and there are about six computers per classroom.

School grades in Australia are called years. Primary school is from year 1 to year 6; secondary school is from year 7 to year 12. A 6-year-old begins in year one, while an 18-yearold finishes school by year 12. From year 1 to year 6, students spend about 12 hours a week working on math and English.

Lots of secondary colleges integrate subjects, meaning they combine two or more academic subjects. For example, your class is learning a type of plant. A non-integrated method would have college students study this type of plant only in science class. An integrated way combines mathematics, by taking measurements, for instance, and language arts. College students would then use that information to write down a report about this type of plant.

Now you have known the holiday every year in Australia, how do you think of it? Compared to the situation of your school now, are you pleased or admire the situation in Australia?
